Didn't they just deliver their first 500 units?

Tesla is a fucking dead brand, no matter their successes. See also Brewdog.
Is Brewdog really dying? Their presence/dominance in the supermarket suggests otherwise.
They might be dead to the people who they’d started out marketing themselves to, customers looking for a smaller less corporate brand that they might hope gave workers better conditions, has more integrity etc, but it seems like they’ve found a new market to sell their wares to. Won’t the same be true of Tesla?

Same bunch of cunts.

Of the semi?
I think the aim is only to deliver 100 this year.

I can't find any Tesla announcements on numbers with a quick google. Only thing I can find is a report saying Pepsi are going to deploy 100 in 2023.

Plenty of brewdog beer on the shelves in stores in sweden, same in bars. I think they've just gone mainstream, selling to people who can't be bothered about artisanal this or that

Neither Tesla nor Brewdog is dying, it’s that neither will ever produce the profits they need to genuinely support their current valuations and share prices.
Their cleverer investors know this, it’s just all hype to make profit.
Both firms - like Purple Bricks, THG, Dr Martens, Aston Martin etc etc - will settle down to being sustainable businesses, just at much, much lower values than they currently are, by which time the execs and smart investors have long since cut and run, funded by the new wave of ‘amateur’ internet investors who don’t bale in time.
It’s now very much a successful ‘business’ model, the latest way of clever rich people fucking over less clever less rich people.

No transparent, honest, factual announcements from Tesla? Never!

I can't see Aston Martin becoming sustainable. They've not managed in over 100 years of trying.
-
• #686
They’ve sustained being a bit lame at making profits, but they’ve sustained it. It’ll be a Chinese takeover next, I’d imagine.

It's the only thing that will save them, but Lance Stroll is resisting, as owning AM is basically his way of making his F1 team marketable, and giving his talentless son a drive.

Oh yeah. Freudian thingummy.

I am sure Leo* Stroll will grow up to be a cunt too
*I have no idea if Lance has bred

More evidence to support my theory that Intel are fucked:

That's almost worse than being fired.
Assume this'll be the trigger for a lot of employees talking to recruiters in the next few months.

It’s an appalling way to treat your staff. Especially when you state you still plan to pay dividends to shareholders.
-
• #694
For me, Brewdog are the biggest they're going to get at the moment... they've literally taken over the world with their bullshit punk ethos... still can't change the fact that all their beer tastes the same!
-
• #695
I didn't read as far down as that. That's criminally shit behaviour. I can only assume that's due to America's shitty shareholder rights?
Either way, they're definitely a dead brand.

Stock buybacks are a great way for executives to grossly overpay themselves.
Thanks Reagan.
Chevron is spending US$75,000,000,000 on a buyback. -

Hello brain drain. Goodbye Intel.
-
• #698
Feels a little weird to see Intel circling the drain. I've never knowingly owned an AMD. I'm not partisan in my chip choice in my 40s but I used to be in the distant past.
I suppose it's like any other brand that made a huge impact on the world and ceased to be...it's a nostalgia thing
-

If there was a way to see how much money I've spent on Intel products in my life, adjusted for inflation, I expect it would be eye watering.

What's the deal with pay cuts though? Isn't it better to just cut staff, starting with the deadwood?
Or maybe more like Blackberry burying HTC.
